FLORAL NOTES.

To the successful cultivation Of house
! plants. an east window is the best fol
plants. There they will get the morn,
ng sunshine and plenty of light the rest
of the day, without being exposed to the
fierce glare of the MONDAY sun, which
they would get in south window.
Very few varieties will retain a fresh
and thrifty appearance in room that is
heated with coal, unless extra care il
taken. The heat is so dry that they are
apt to drop their leaves, or at least pre-
sent sickly appearance. This may be
almost If not quite remedied by keeping
an open dish of water on the stove, so
that the steam will mIngle with the dry
heat.
Lily-of-the-va valley roots that have been
stored in the cellar over winter may be
brought out now and potted in rich
10 lmy soil, and if kept well watered and
in warm, sunny window, in few
weeks will repay oil care and ate ntion
given them, with an abundance of their
pure, fragrant blossoms.
II is time to select seeds for the flower
gardens out Of doors. The seed cata-
logues this year display quite variety
of novelties, but before we experiment
with these, let us have good supply of
the old standard sorts. Of these we.
count among the essentials verbenas,
phlox, pinks, petunias and pansies. AL
though there are many others we value
just as highly these are the most snowy
and easy to grow. Everyone would do
well to add paper of mixed seeds.

Apropos Of soup, an old veteran of the
New York press, George Garfield, used
to tell of comical adventure which be
fell him in Paris. Georgia had labored
long and industriously at the ship news
desk. He resided in the Burg as
they used to call the eastern district of
Brooklyn, and had worked himself up
from the case, where he ''set the ships,
until he became editor-in chief Of the
department. He knew enough Of French
to CLEAN the exchanges for French ves
sells and French marine ports and other
terms, but otherwise his knowledge Of
the language was greatly restricted. He
had saved a good deal of money, and
when, at length, he was given generous
holiday, he decided to spend it in Pals.
His first dinner in France was eaten at
one of the big hotels in the capital His
wife was with him. They consulted the
bill of fare, and George pointed with his
finger TO the first item. The waiter
bowed, went off and soon returned with
a copious supply Of soup for two. 1t
was palatable, and George did full JUS
tice to it. Consulting the bill of fare
once more, he pointed TO the second
item, somewhat to the surprise Of the
garcon- But he nodded his head en-
phatically and CALCULATED ''ouin two or
three times. The conquered waiter
brought him two more plates of soup.
George had to pretend now that he was
very fond OF soup, so he ate it with
great relish, although it had very filling
effect. When it was all disposed of he
took up the bill, and firmly convinced
that he would surely strike something
solid by going down two or three items
on the list, h put his finger on the
fourth or fifth line and pantomimed his
desire to be served with what it repre-
sented. The waiter gave little start,
but rushed of to obey and bought back
vet two more dishes OF soup. George az
cepted his fate with calm dignity. He
wasn't going to let the waiter know that
he wasn't getting lust what he wanted.
and he put himself outside the liquid
with good deal Of effort and pretended
gusto.
"Well, Jennie, he said, as he took up
the card once more II think we have
had enough soup TO get along without
the roast. Suppose we skip down to the
dessert
Bound to make no mistake this time
he pointed TO the last item. The waiter
looked surprised. But George Insisted,

A man sat suddenly down on Wood

CHASTITY Experiments.

A CHASTITY pantomime, recalling to
mind Poe's narrative of the galvanizing
Of a mummy, was enacted recently in
Paris. at the Practical School Of Surgery,
where the bodies of two criminals, Frey
aud Riviere, were placed at the disposal
of the surgeons to experiment on. A
number of experiments were made,
among them the following: To re-es-
tablish the circulation in the severed
heads, the veins were injected with blood
taken from living animal. The skin
of the face. previously livid, became
charged with color, tho lips recovered
their natural red. the cheeks filed out, If
regular movements agitated the skin and
the face resumed the appearance of life.
Electric currents were passed through
the facial nerves and the contractions OF
the face were noted. There were, how
ever, no results indicative Of any Testo-
ration to life or consciousness. The
nerves shortly ceased to betray any sensi-
bility and it was evident that all per-
ception and sensation were at an end.

Culinary Skill.

NJ. Lie Blanc, if his story is accepted,

he treated his guests to mouth watering
descriptions of ''ze magnifque dinnair

A few days before Christmas he became
very mysterious and intimated that those
fortunate mortals who sat at his board
should also havea ''magnif lue dinnair :"
Accordingly anticipations ran hi h.
The day at last arrived. His promises
were fulfilled. The table was spread
with an embarrassment of good things.
One dish was especially favorite, and
that it was so seemed to give monsieur
great delight. 1t seemed a species of
game, was delicately favored, but no one
knew exactly what it was.
'Oh, monsieur, do tell us what this
delicious meat is" said pretty Miss H.,
